Heber Bishop to Have mar. BIaIne's
Summer Cottage.
President and MRS. Cleveland Ex.
pected at Northeast Harbor.
Tennis by Electric Light to bo The
Fashionable Thing.


BAR HARBoR, May 28-The prospects for
a busy season we're never brighter than now.
Over two hundred cottagers are already hero
with their families, among whom are the fol-
lowing: Edmund Pendleton, Cincinnati. at
the Bagatelle; f. III. johnson, Andoyer, at
villa Mary; DIR. Robert Amory, Charles II.
Dorr, Boston, and several other prominent
men.
Sir Lionel West, the British Minister, Is
expected here this summer ID Is reported
that President Cleveland and wife are 10 oc-
cupy Stony Acre Cottage at Northeast Har-
Dor the coming season. The cottage Is being
most elegantly furnished, the designs for
decoration alone costing over 5000. Tho
President would no doubt find Mt. Desert air
very inyigorating. Heber Bishop win occupy
Hon. James G.. Blaine's Cottage. as the latter
Is to be abroad.
Nearly all theTooms In the hotels are en-
gagged and more applications are being made
for rooms than can be supplied. The Rodick.
st. Sauveur andthe West End look forward to
an earlier and buster season than last year.
The town Is being furnished with electric
lights, which will be put in use by the last Of
cNhe' Az - shO PuApOoO VI ooNcidl VI buO
summer residents to have their parks lighted
to enable them to carry on evening tennis
games.
The Rodicks are repairing their water
pipes leading from Great Meadow to Eagle
Lake. The Eden Company are not to do
anything, for the present at least, while it's
matter Of uncertainty whether IL will ever
operate or not. II seems 70 be the opinion Of
many that 1t will not.
The work ON the sewer has no doubt caused
the delay OF many who are wont to come
early. 1t is hoped that the streets will be
put In order very soon now and the sewer
completed as far as Cottage street by the
middle Of next month. The remainder win
be left over until fall. The Italians are now
grumbling for their pay from Whldden,s Hill
d CO., the prior contractors, and for a while
refused to work. The town has now got
charge of the contract and are pushing on
the work day and night. The hotel propri-
etors feel considerable anxiety over Its COM
pletion, as the present state OF things would
have q tendency TO iniure their business.

no chance to present their case. 1t is al

incompetency OF this democratic admin-

Inefficiency of the state department par

The friends of Roscoe COnkling In

counting upon the possibilities OF the

nomination. The friends of the Utica
statesman may rest easy. There 10 not
the slightest danger Of his eminence, the
old republican pope, being calico
from his retirement. He stood alOOI
from the party three years since, when
one word Of his would have insured
glorious republican victory. All his
power now Is mis- ability to proven James
G. Blaine, the grandest OF living repub-
licans, from becoming president OF the
republic. This one fact Is hardly sulh-
cient to carry him safely through the
storms Of national convention.
